I am a little. I do think we need some young players who stay and provide continuity

I guess in two years for example I see the point, maybe loan him out if he wanted game time.
I only know of this player because he's a local over here so whenever him or bret pitman or Kurtis Guthrie score they are always on the news , he seems to be rated like,
I'm generally looking out for you to see which one of your stylish yet practical hand knitted cardigans you're wearing.
Another signing on a 2 year contract
Very unusual. SISU strengthening the balance sheet with assets maybe.

Also looks like only room in the squad for 1 or 2 loanees. Like that move and gives stability for the season.
Besides losing bigi which is imo a huge loss this transfer window is going great at the minute
Seconded! Don't get the love in with him at all. Apart from a couple of goals what did he actually do last season? Hardly had an impact at all.
That will be the fracking well under construction. :emoji_anguished:
A home grown 19 year old centre midfielder who had to play in front of the worst defence in our history, in a team with 2 headless chicken wingers and barely a striker worthy of the name in our squad. I know you've got a massive downer on our youth system but surely you can see that after a pre-season of bulking up, playing under a decent manager, in a better team, he's worth another season.
So much writing off of players that had venus and slade as their manager for majority of seasin
They're watching for opportunities to criticise, Tufgay, Bigi, Haynes.................
yep. Why a 20 year old with no previous league games before last season didn't drag us out of the regelation zone I will never know !
Imagine if we sacked off Wilson that pre season before he hit the ground running
I would much prefer to keep Stevenson rather than Bigi.
Last year we had no leaders in the side apart from Ricketts until he retired then Clarke in between his injury absences. We could all see it especially our inability to hold onto leads. Of the 7 guys signed so far 5 or 6 of them are described as leaders and most have been involved in League 2 promotion campaigns
Which will hopefully make others raise their game and prevent last minute howlers etc
His nose must be bleeding from how high they are compared to us at this point in time.
Solid signing. It's always imperative to have a versatile midfielder in the squad. Seems that CAM has been identified as his strongest position, however previous managers have ben quoted to have said that he can pretty much play anywhere in midfield and still excel. Makes me question what formation we will predominately use next season though. One can assume Vincenti will start alongside Kelly, with Doyle playing every other game considering his age.
Now that the CMs have been covered we need to look to wingers to sure up our midfield. At the moment we only have Jodi Jones. If Thomas signs, our right side will be a serious threat, but I'm personally not holding my breath. Therefore, assuming Thomas in fact rejects a contract extension and Reid is considered surplus to requirements then Robins will consequently need to bring in two solid LM's and an experienced RM as relying on Vincenti to fill the role as both a winger and a CAM/CM would be an unneeded risk.
Earlier in the window Robins said that 12 are to be bought in, however I think this figure will obviously fluctuate based on those who exit the club between now and 1st Sept. Harries, Willis, Stevenson, Reid, Turnbull, Beavon, Haynes and Thomas are all not guaranteed to stay. This concerns me because if worst comes to worst Robins still needs to bring in the remaining 5 players he promised earlier in the window as well as up to 8 replacements.
We've already completed some shrewd business in the transfer window and I'm personally pleased with our acquisitions so far. But similarly, it's no secret that there's still a great deal of work to be done.

Makes last season's pre season look more of a joke as the days go by.
I hope we smash Blackburn.

Mixed loyalties when we play grimbsy though eh?
Ah fair enough. That's what I get for googling him too quick and reading what I wanted to read
Yes I agree with that. Unless Thomas has spent his summer on his runs (more likely with the runs if he joined others in an all inclusive Marbs fest
) and finishing 1v1. Hopefully we can utilise Beavon while he's still here and have him help Thomas out pre season
